So, if I have all the CD's / DVD's that I want to make templates from, but I don't want to format the HDD every time to "make a new template", how do I install directly off the DVD / CD?

Use VMware and install each OS as a VM. From there, you can tar up the entire root fs and make your image like that. Put it on your ovz node, and then you will have to do some additional steps, such as disabling some services, fixing mtab and fstab. If you look through the openvz wiki, you'll find more info on this, like the centos guide: http://wiki.openvz.org/Creating_a_CentOS_5.0_Template
